There does indeed seem to have been a "settling of scores" with Rubiales and Vildas within the politics of Spanish football. Though probably more powerful is the current "left" coalition Government which has put in some controversial new laws as part of the deal to coalition partners. The latter desperate from some "success" because one of their laws actually had the unintended effect of of reducing the sentences of 100s of convicted rapists and a "yes means yes" law has resulted in some very unexpected cases. Rubiales is probably the victim of unwittingly giving the politicians an "example". After all no one can deny the kiss happened as it was beamed across the globe.
